yeah, i can see my jedi force-smacking people to death right now. come one- no saber, no fighting. what am i supposed to do? make people shoot themselves? "you WANT to shoot yourself."
-
some dark sites (cave on dagobah) or light sites (valley of the jedi) would be great to visit. it'd be pretty tough to fight a sith on a dark force site while HIS powers are being strengthenenenened and YOURS weakenenenened....

Have you read the comics? If not you should give them a try and here is a website you might like. http://www.darklordsofsith.com/ Cheers! urm... there's a lot of copyrighted stuff on that site. now i am not an expert on legal terms but... isn't that, like, illegal?

the costumes in the prequels are all based off the third reich. though they weren t sith but just imperials being led by one.
-
Is there any type of feedback specifically the devs are interested in? good one. anything you want, devs? (tea? coffee? some alien dialogue?)
-
has anyone ever found an easter egg in the form of an easter egg?
-

-
thats why i proposed this now- early in production.

they kindda screwed up during the clone wars then. leading an army and stuff... well- the sourcebooks says they're "lost"- doesn'T say they cant be FOUND someplace
-
1) no - yes 2) yup 3) biiiig yes to that one. maybe he should take lessons from carpenter or romero or king or one of the others on the third one...

that was a completely unnecessary spoiler (if it was one, that is)

simple: revan was a male back then. not only did they wipe his memory, but also changed his gender.

so he's strong.... and clumsy

my point exactly. we (i mean as forum users, including me) think that slavery is evil and we are right about it. HOWEVER, to some cultures in star wars, it's perfectly ok. the jedi came to accept this fact. it actually says in one of the new books (jedi padawan- would have to look up the number though). there's a story of a jedi and his padawan being on some hutt outpost, talking to hutts while their slaves are bringing refreshments to the jedi. the padawan is surprised to see his master handle the matter of slaves in republic space so freely. weeks later, the two trade with a fringer and witness him hitting his slave- the master immediately draws his saber and threatens the fringer, then frees the slave of his former master. the padawan is confused. the master explains that while slavery is natural to hutt culture- the fringer had no right to abuse his slave as it was not a commonly accepted phenomenon in that culture. twisted logic? maybe. the jedi HAS a point though. exactly. one problem the jedi had was the close relationship to the republic and republic laws. but that is something that was in effect for 20.000 years. the pre-old republic jedi were still in search of a purpose. whether they picked the right one is open to debat. rest see example above. again- this is stuff written in canon material. if you don't believe me, i'll go through the trouble of looking up the exact spot. -

I'm not going into an argument on what defines "good" behavior. if you don't wanna discuss- what the hell are you doing on the board? care to enlighten me what you mean by setting up then? skywalker does not have issues with the jedi teachings, but with the organisation and relationships of the order. thats it. that wasn't forbidden in the order. 40 years before kotor, there were two cathar who were engaged. 10 years before episode1, qui gon was engaged to another jedi master. there are NO neutral jedi. he left the order on his own accord since he didn't feel like a jedi anymore. he made mistakes- so he left. maybe that's what it SHOULD be- but it isnt. star wars was always about the conflict of good vs. evil. paladin vs. anti-paladin. jedi vs. sith. jedi WERE virtous- but yes, they also made individual mistakes. revan made a mistake and it cost a lot of people their lives. yes- one on the verge of falling to the dark side. but as you might remember- he stopped himself in time. you are twisting my words- 1. han was not a slave, he was a smuggler who owed money to a hutt crime lord. 2. skywalker gave jabba the chance to let them go- he said "you're making a big mistake, jabba". what DO you expect from someone who's trying to get a friend back? because- as he states in his own words "i am a jedi- as my father before me". he knows that his only chance to beat the emperor is to redeem his father. this by the way is something that Lucas himself says. star wars (all six episodes) is mainly about the life of anakin skywalker / lord vader. he becomes the greatest jedi of his time- falls to the dark side - and is redeemed by the last jedi of that time, who becomes the first master of a new order you can compare slavery to genocide if you wish- no problem with that. hutts aren't the only ones keeping slaves. the "sith culture" has been beaten down by the jedi because they were literally trying to kill everyone else- like the yuuzhan vong. slavery by the way is itself not an evil thing you are completely misunderstanding what i have been writing about. jedi do NOT force others to see things their way. trying to do so pushes you to the dark side. trying dominating others minds in kotor and you will see at what times this gives you DS points and when it doesn't. travelling through hutt space, visiting every slave-owner and forcing them to accept YOUR GOODY GOOD JEDI VIEWS IS AN EVIL ACT. you do not use the force to do stuff like that. jabba did not give solo the chance to pay him back. he did not accept explanations. read the books / comics between the movies and you'll see why skywalker was right about freeing solo see- THAT is the whole point. it isn't important whether I think it's right. in their culture- it was ok. jedi use their powers for defence- never aggressively. they do not go to the hutts and say- you there! stop having slaves. they are or have been passive in that way. as skywalker says, his school / academy is a place of action. he takes up the old principles of the jedi (old republic time) and counters threats actively instead of waiting for invitations. at the same time- he doesn't invade other peoples cultures. see- a roman would have had no problems with this. just like so many other cultures in history. we are also talking about alien cultures in kotor, but you are involving human emotions and the principles we uphold in THIS world and THIS time. we're talking fantasy universe here, so don't forget that this is all fiction and there are billions of sentions in this fiction to whom slavery is perfectly fine. just because you want to project your principles and thoughts on the jedi- a fictional, religious "force" wielding organization doesn't mean the jedi have to be the way you think. again, i am MERELY STATING whatever is writtin in various books and comics or what is to be seen in movies. if it makes you feel better, i'll include quotes and point to the specific places in the sources i know. right- i forgot. master yoda is a human being. just like many other alien masters of whom some did not even have emotions comparable to those humans might have. this isn't about "training" "brainwashing" etc. it's about a certain view of the world. take buddhist monks in our world, if you find fiction that hard to believe. these guys can set themselves up in flames. live for years without what you might call love or anger or fear... does that make them LESS human? you have a very single-minded definition of humanity. ever been to africa? try visit that place sometime. it's like a different world. people have completely different principles. in some places, it's ok to sell your child just like selling cattle. now, is that good or bad? to you, this is wrong. but that is the same state of mind all conquerors had in history. you don't get it, do you? your principles might not be true for others. once again- jedi have been marrying for centuries. it is NOT welcomed and it is not liked in the order as it gives way to passion and fear. yet, as jolee says- passion is not the same thing as love. there is a certain order that has been following certain principles for thousands of years. they call themselves jedi and have a rigid set of rules. i don't know what jedi you are talking about but the ones i mean are the ones from the books, the comics, the roleplaying systems and the movies around something vaguely called "star wars" that's the point- force traditions without the distinction didn't become nearly as powerful. it was either light side or dark side. someone following either of those became powerful. others have not. there's a reason as to why other force traditions haven't become that wide-spread. unfortunately, they are. now, you can argue again with me on this. but again i will simply just point you to various books. take a look at "power of the jedi" and "hero's handbook" from wizards. or take a look at starwars.com if you don't believe me. i'm merely repeating what i read- no need to get upset about it. -
whaddaya call that kindda stuff:
-
maybe in kotor2... maybe then, i will get my xexto jedi guardian fighting with 4 lightsabers at the same time...
-
what are you talking about??? what repeating blaster? that's not the only mandalorian armor in the universe- i have a feeling that he'll be a part of the game, but not as a party member

why do some people always have to turn a thread into senseless babbling? :angry:
-
there was a thread on peaceful solutions somewhere, as it would also make sense for a jedi to go out of a fights way if possible. why kill a whole station, if you can sneak around? if obi wan was moving kotor-style in the death star, he'd be fighting his way through to the generators. i found it to be very disappointing that i couldn't simply use affect mind / dominate mind to trick guards. if that was possible, i would have gone through the swoop gang compound without anyone knowing of my entry. i really hope they work on this.

well, buying swoops would make a character like "stan, the swoop bike seller" possible.
